Following intense speculation about the future of the squad’s chief technical officer amid the behind-the-scenes unrest at Red Bull following the controversy surrounding team principal Christian Horner, the Milton Keynes-based team announced on Wednesday that Newey would be departing.
It is not clear if Newey has made a definite decision on his next career steps but he has been most strongly linked with Ferrari, which is eager to lure him on board as part of its effort to get back to the front of the grid. Aston Martin is also a potential suitor.
